A film ships once; a series ships every week. Spimov saves each character's voice and reuses it episode after episode, so the season stays consistent.

Series dubbing isn't just a longer version of film dubbing; it's a different problem. A film is one two-hour delivery. A season is ten, twenty or more episodes that all have to stay consistent with each other. If the audience notices in episode three that a character now sounds different, the bond breaks no matter how good the translation is.
In a traditional workflow, casting solves this: the same voice actor reads the same character all season. The catch is that the actor's calendar, fee and availability aren't under the producer's control. One late episode and the broadcast schedule slips.
Spimov solves consistency with voice profiles. You save the voice you assigned to a character, then select the same profile for every following episode. When a new character appears mid-season you create a new profile for them and the existing ones are untouched. Continuity depends on your saved profile list, not on who happens to be available.
Spimov transcribes the dialogue and separates the speakers, listing every character in the scene as its own speaker.
Assign a voice to each character and save it as a voice profile. That profile is reused in later episodes — the same voice all season.
For later episodes you just pick the saved profiles. Depending on your plan several episodes can run at once, and the API lets you wire the flow into your own system.
Each episode comes back as a dubbed video with a separate audio track and subtitle files, so you can deliver on your broadcast schedule.
Broadcast schedules are tight and episodes arrive weekly. When dubbing an episode doesn't depend on someone else's calendar, the release plan stays in your hands.
Buyers usually want a local-language audio track. Being able to offer a series in the target market's language removes the most concrete obstacle to the sale.
If you make a web series or episodic fiction, publishing the same episode in several languages reaches multiple audiences from one shoot. You can publish the dubbed version straight to YouTube.
High episode counts with a fixed cast of characters is where voice profiles pay off most: character voices set up once get reused across dozens of episodes.
Studio dubbing is an interpretation, and across a season that interpretation compounds — a good voice actor takes ownership of the character. Spimov doesn't claim to reproduce that exactly; what it does is carry the tone and emotion of the original performance into the new language, with the same consistency in every episode.
The difference in scale is even sharper for a series than for a film. At a studio each episode is a new recording session, with casting calendars, room availability and a mixing queue coming into play every time. Here the setup you build for the first episode isn't rebuilt for the rest.
Then there are corrections. If you notice mid-season that a character's name was translated wrong, you fix those lines and re-render only those segments — no need to reprocess the episode.
When is a studio the better call? For prime-time productions where the dubbing cast is itself part of the promotion, a studio is still the right choice. When episode counts are high, the schedule is tight and several languages are needed, Spimov's advantage becomes clear.
Yes. You save the voice you assigned to a character as a voice profile and select the same profile in later episodes, so the character sounds the same all season. When a new character appears you create a separate profile for them and the existing ones are unaffected.
Episodes are uploaded one at a time today — there is no bulk season upload screen. Instead, depending on your plan several episodes can process at the same time, and the API lets you queue episodes from your own system, so in practice you can run a season as a queue.
Yes. You can produce several language versions from one episode and get subtitles for each from the same job. How many jobs run at once depends on your plan.
Only upload episodes you own or have written permission to use. Before cloning an actor's voice, confirm their contract covers that use. This is not legal advice — clarify your rights before publishing.
Yes. The free plan lets you upload a short scene from an episode and listen to the result with no credit card. Free output carries a watermark and has a length limit.
Start with a single scene, save the character voice and reuse the same profile in every episode.
